Missing you & Miracles Blossom. "Gina K. Blog Hop"

Hello my friends, are you havong a great day? I hope so. I am having a miserable one, yes, allergies are ruining my day, I just came back inside from some garden work and now my eyes are getting itchy again, yikes! I hope all these nasty sympthoms go away because it is not fun.
Anyway, I have a couple of cards that I am submitting for Gina K. Blog Hop "Summer Memories" 

Miracles Blossom: As I told you yesterday I have a lot of memories spending time at my grandma's house during the Summer Time. I remember she had the most beautiful flowers ever, I enjoyed playing in her garden (and sometimes cutting her flowers, oops) with my cousins (all girls).  Oh, those times! It's so good to remember that.
So, here is my card, I took Theresa's new set "Hope Grows" and stamped the leaves in a piece of Wild Dandelion CS and create a BG, then I took a scrap piece of Red Hot and punch the border and add some Gold Rhinestones, then some ribbon and adhered to my card. I stamped the flowers in White Layering Weight CS in Memento Tuxedo Black. Colored them with Prismacolor Pencils and OMS. Finally I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black.
Final size card: 8.5" x 3.5"
I am submitting this card also to Mark's Finest Papers" Create your own BG Challenge


Card recipe:
Card stock: Wild Dandelion, Red Hot, White Layering Weight (all Gina K. Designs)
Stamps: Hope Grows (Gina K. Designs)
Ink: Crushed Curry (SU), Memento Tuxedo Black (Tsukineko)
Embellishments: Antique White Satin Ribbon (Offray), Gold Rhinestones (Recollections)
Accessories: Stamp-a-ma-jig, Foam tape, Corner punch (for scallop border), Prismacolor pencils, OMS, Scor-Tape.

Missing you: I remember after playing with my cousins all day, but night we were tired and we all sat down to watch TV. I remember going to the Family Room and sitting on my grandma's favorite chair, it was my favorite too!! I suppose now they are call antiques, LOL. It was so comfy and soft. Do you want to know what show we watched? "V", the original version, it's funny to remember because I am so afraid of mice and I don't know how I trained my brain to watch that, LOL. I think that was the only time we all were quiet and still :)
So, for this card I used Nina's new sets "Fine Furnishings" and "Fine Furnishings Additions".
Final size card: 4.25"x 5.5"
I used the sketch from 2S4U and the color inspiration from Off the Wall Craftiness


Card recipe:

Paper: Ancestry.com Collection (K&CO)
Stamps: Fine Furnishings and Fine Furnishings Additions (Gina K. Designs).

Thank You! Gina K. Blog Hop.

Hello dear stamper friends! I hope you are enjoying your (close to) summer time, here we just started having some nice temperatures and it feels great and I am enjoying  working on my garden and spending some time outside, but since last weekend I am having really bad allergy attacks, yikes! I don't like it at all.

Anyway, it's time again for Gina K. fun blog hop (and search for the next Guess designer, yay!), this time the theme is Fun Summer Memories! I have so many, but I want to share with you this one I love!! When I was a kid, my favorite day was Sunday because we had to go to my Grandparents house and enjoy family time. I come from a very large family, so it was always great to see all (a lot) of my cousins and play outside until we couldn't walk anymore, LOL. Also my grandma used to make the most and my favorite ever dessert!! I used to call her Saturday night and asked her if she would make it for next day (I love this) and I always heard a YES! After enjoying dessert, I remember running to the kitchen and give my grandma and big hug and say Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! She always put her arms around me and gave a nice and sweet kiss. Oh how I miss those days :) I miss her a lot, she was like my second mom after my mom passed.

Anyway, this is my card, it is simple, but it means a lot to me!!


Card recipe:
Card stock: Bubblegum Pink, White Layering (Gina K. Designs)
Stamps: Botanicals.
Ink: Pretty in Pink (SU), Brilliance Pearlescent Poppy (Tsukineko), Memento Tuxedo Black (Tsukineko), Antique Linen DIstress (Ranger)
Embellishments: Pink Satin Ribbon (Offray), Dark Pink Rhinestones (Kaiser Crafts).

Hope you like it!!
I will bring more memories of my childhood later :)

Have a great day!

The Real Deal:  I started my card printing the toll box twice (image got it from Clip Art Microsoft Word) in a piece of Little Boy Blue CS.

In the tool box I included some nuts, jute twine and Yellow Mason Twine from my garage. The sentiment is a sticker and the Nuts form the bottom are the real deal from my garage. I sponged the borders with Memento Tuxedo Black, because who keep a tool box clean? Not my husband, LOL.

Hello my friends! I hope you are having a great day. I planned to post this yesterday, but I felt miserable, I had sinus headaches all day, fever 100F all day too and body ache, no runny nose, no cough, no other symptoms.
My daughter had a birthday party yesterday and sadly I couldn't go, I decided to stay home and rest, and believe I rested very well. My husband took DD to the party and I napped, I woke up when I heard the phone ringing.I napped for 3 hours!!! I felt a bit better after that, but still feeling dizzy and a lot of sinus pressure.

So, here is the card I made for the birthday girl. Her theme party was dots and I got inspired by the present bag. I cut the circles with Nestabilities dies using little scraps of CS, perfect for this project!

With Sympathy

Hello my friends! I hope you are having a great day. I am having a good stamping day, I have a lot of projects to make and also prepare a class I am giving this Friday. I am excited to be so busy. Anyway, this morning my husband asked me if I had a couple of Sympathy cards for a couple of officers who lost their parents last week, sadly I didn't have any, so I just made these 2 today. Sympathy cards are always hard to make for me, you don't want to put too much neither want to create a sad card.

So very sorry card: I used 2S4U sketch. I kept this card basically white with a bit of Vintage look. My card base is White PL (Gina K), I matted it with a piece of White (SU). First I punched the borders, then I stamped the sentiment in Rich cocoa, after that I cuttlebuged 3/4 of the white piece. Then I stamped the images, cut and embossed in Desert Sand Ink. Finally I stamped the little butterfly in Clear emboss ink and added some Gold ep, heated, cut and adhered. I sponged the borders and adhered to the card. Finally I added some White Liquid Pearls.




Card recipe:
Card Stock: White (Gina K), White (SU)
Ink: Memento Desert Sand , Memento Rich Cococa, Clear embossing pad.
Stamps: Images from Hope Grows (Gina K), Sentiment from Botanicals (Gina K)
Embellishments: White Liquid Pearls (Ranger)
Accessories: Sunburst Border Punch (Fiskars), Cuttebug, Swiss Dots folder,  Circle Nestabilities, Daubers, Foam tape, Mini glue dots.

With Deepest Sympathy: For this card I used the sketch from CPS. I started my card with a piece of White PL (Gina K), I matted a piece of Innocent Pink (Gina K) and white (SU), I stamped the sentiment, then cuttlebugged (textile folder), sponged and distressed the borders. Adhered the ribbon around. The butterflies were stamped in White  CS (SU) using gold embossing powder, cut one whole butterfly and then cut half of the other one. Adheres to card. Finally I added 3 tiny gold rhinestones.




Card Recipe:
Card Stock: White PL (Gina K), White (SU), Innocent Pink (Gina K).
Stamps: Hope Grows (Gina K)
Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa, Memento desert Sand (for sponging), Clear embossing pad.
